It seems to barf on many modern pdfs so I didn't think of it here. Works fine with my relatively simple ones for the buk of this job. Yeeks! Motif brings back memories.

Except, selecting "odd sides only" causes the Gnome(?) Document Viewer -> CUPS -> Epson printer driver chain to crash with no output. I suspect whatever package parses the pdf file for CUPS, but I'm not sure what that would be.

One way out would be to split each pdf into two, one with all the odd sides and one with all the even. There are too many to do manually, so a script would be needed.

Any ideas, either for a Debian-free tool with functional pdf print options or for said script?
